Question Posted Tuesday September 22 2015, 7:47 am
Hey so my girlfriend and I are both in a long distance relationship for two months now, we're 14. The problem is, she'll sometimes have bad mood swings and get really mad at people for no reason. She's sick right now too, so that's not helping much. I was just wondering is there anything I can say to help her? I love her and I don't want anything to happen to her because of these mood swings
messi answered Wednesday September 23 2015, 9:10 am: We are in the same situation right now with the long distance relationship thing. What you should say to her is that you miss her and she should know that you love her. Tell her to get well soon and hope that I could be there beside you to take care of you. You should be the one to protect her or to prevent her from anything that might happen during her mood swings. Lastly you shouldn't focus on the mood swings she has you should focus on her being ill, and just talk to her in an app you both use to make her feel safe and welcome.

But I agree with the other adviser. Don't tell her to calm down or that she's over reacting. That won't end well.
I think the best thing to do is be there for her. Tell her you love her and that you're there for her if she needs you. To talk, to listen.
If you wanna be sweet, you can send her a care package since she's sick. Like some tissues, cough drops, a little teddy bear, a note, ect. You can be creative. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

Whatever you do, do NOT tell her to calm down or that she is overreacting or ANYTHING like that. Trust me, it will only make it worse. You can try to make things easier for her by giving advice, just listening, talking to the person she is mad at, or get angry with her. A lot of people, especially girls, like it when you get mad upset about something with them. You can also if you want try to look up things that might help her and her moods, but that could backfire on you. Not everyone likes a problem solver or a know-it-all, or she might turn around and get mad at you. Just make sure you're there for her, like a shoulder to cry on.
Hope this helps~ [ Ocalaphernella's advice column | Ask Ocalaphernella A Question ]
